Koyaanisqatsi
In a new scene of its kind, we see the world more clearly. Here we see the effect of man on the environment, where we see the world in its original state without prejudice to him. We see heaven, earth, clouds, rivers and other cosmic creatures. It is a variety of film techniques to provide an amazing montage of images of nature.

What makes this film great is its structure, the fact that photography, editing and music alone can combine to form an epic, 90-minute composition that coheres.
